Data was analyzed using mean and standard deviations with tables to display the study variables, while inferential statistics such as the Spearman’s rank order correlation statistics technique was used to test the research hypotheses with the aid of the statistical package for social science version 26.0. the findings indicate there is a strong positive correlation between long-term incentive plan and employee agility of non-teaching staff in Federal Universities in South-South, Nigeria with rho=0.863, 0.711 and 0.618 at significant level p=0.00<0.05for employee agility, employee responsiveness, and employee resourcefulness respectively, in the Federal Universities in South-South, Nigeria.
